["Jim Hoerner" <jim_hoerner@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Forwarded without endorsement.  Sorry, I have to work on Valentine's Day, 

and therefore won't be able to organize a counter rally :-)  If I worked in 

DC, I'd be there holding a big green sign that reads "Environmentalists for 

Nuclear Energy".  Either that or

>radioactive waste from U.S. weapons facilities and nuclear power plants at 

>Yucca Mountain, Nevada.  Yucca Mountain is in an active earthquake zone
